The last 75 years

 

I was born just before the beginning of the 1950s and it has been an amazing journey.

I saw the transition from telephone operators to Iphones.

I remember getting our first television.

I remember Sputnik and the first man on the moon.

I came of age when birth control made children a choice.

I saw women able to have their own bank account and credit cards.

I watched the glass ceiling become thinner and thinner.

I saw a man try to become dictator of the United States of America.

I've seen Illinois Governors go to prison.

And maybe I will see a former US President go there too!
